Discussion

Confirmed on moin--main--1.3--patch-84, I cannot reproduce it on moin--main--1.3--patch-107 -- FlorianFesti 2004-08-29 17:49:58 already fixed???

Here it is reproduced on patch-190. I copied the page from here into my test wiki. http://nirs.dyndns.org/main/FormattingBug

• I can't see the error in your wiki. It seems fixed to me.

The error is very clear. Are Deatils, Workround, Disscussion, Plan and FOOTER! all bold? they should not!

• Looking deeper, they are not. It seems we have a browser problem here... the curious thing: the html source is equivalent, just a few spaces less. Again: in the source, both are brokeen (closing strong inside a p), but viewed with the same browser, yours looks ok, and this wiki looks broken. Weird.

I tested with both Safari and Mozilla on Mac OS X.

• I use mozilla on linux. A screenshot is more than words:

• David, MoinMoin currently disable all text formatting at the end of the paragraph. So if you want to have multiple paragraph formatted bold, you have to set it in every paragraph.

  • Alexander, thanks for the reply. If this would be the documented behaviour, it would allow "lazy formating" - and who is not fond of laziness? - So maybe it should be kept for the future as it is now?

    • I am not sure if these semantics will be kept. If you really want to have a stable page rendering, close the markup and reopen it for every paragraph.
